Harshan Kumarasingham from the Institute of Policy Studies was interviewed by Chris Laidlaw on Radio NZ. Very interesting discussion

on constitutional matters. The main theme being the lack of constitutional checks in the form of an upper house in New Zealand. He did make reference to citizens referendums and these being used in some countries after they have moved to a single chamber government.
